Kenneth Copeland has never hidden the fact that he was previously married. However, his marriage was over long before his conversion to Christ and his remarriage to his wife, Gloria, and long before he attended Oral Roberts University and later entered the ministry himself. His older daughter, Terri Copeland Pearson, is from his first marriage. I don't know her name, but a couple years ago while I was watching a live church service of Eagle Mountain International Church, where her husband George Pearson is pastor, he publicly stood and asked the congregation to pray for "Terri's mother" who had been rushed to the hospital and was seriously ill. He was not referring to Gloria Copeland. He was openly speaking of Terri's mother. Terri has never called Gloria her mother. Whenever the three Copeland children appear together on the "Believer's Voice of Victory" together, Terri always says, "I'm Kenneth Copeland's oldest daughter." She has never said that Gloria is her mother and has never denied who her mother is. Gloria is not her adoptive mother; she is her stepmother, and John and Kellie are her half-siblings. Just because someone doesn't speak all the time about a parent, doesn't mean they don't have a relationship with them or that they are denying their existence or hiding something.

Jeremy Pearsons of Kenneth Copeland Ministries is 35 years old (born 1979).
Sandra Copeland is the nameof the first wife of evangelist Kenneth Copeland, and the mother of his elder daughter, Terri Copeland Pearsons. I don't know what her maiden name was, nor do I know when she married Kenneth or how long they were married. I do know they were divorced for some time before Kenneth met Gloria Copeland, his wife of over 40 years, and long before he committed his life to God and entered the ministry. The last I knew Sandra was still living, but had been ill. I do not know if she ever remarried after her divorce from Kenneth Copeland, but I do know she is not a secret to anyone who knows the ministry at all, and that Terri has maintained an open relationship with her mother as an adult.
